Looks like a juvenile Cooper's Hawk.

Welcome!

Where in Missouri is that chert found? I'm on the west side and haven't found any yet. I watched the video yesterday and enjoyed it.

My understanding is the proper manure for fertilizer is from ruminants, not carnivores. It also needs composting so it heats enough to kill the seeds it contains.

Yes, and it works. You can also use a five gallon bucket with a lid and fill it with weeds and green leaves and water. Wait a few weeks and use this tea for fertilizer. Also works well.

I started tomato seeds in cups today. It will be 8 weeks before I dare plant them out in the garden. I need to plant the onion seedlings I started a month ago out in the garden. A week ago I started a batch of fermented jalapeños for hot sauce. Should be done in two more weeks. I ended up...

Congrats!

I hate Bermuda grass, too. A heavy mulch helps. It still grows into the garden, but it doesn't root as well so it can be pulled easier. Still, nasty stuff. I have onions started from seed on the kitchen table. It will be a while before they go out.

Our season is closed.

Welcome!

I killed and butchered 4 deer this year. One flintlock, 2 bow, one conventional. I cured a back leg off the last doe I got in muzzleloader season. I plan on curing some other cuts when I find some more round tuits.

I've been distracted and have made no progress. The only thing I've done is purchase a chuck for my wood lathe so I can turn a cone for a form and a plug. I have no excuses for the stall. As to where I got the horns, my father in law got them and I have no idea where.

I put a Williams on my 50 cal T/C flinter. Worked great. I think you will like whatever you end up with over the stock open sights.

Congrats! Pretty amazing feeling, isn't it?

I won't be going out for a while. Between the weather and coming down with a bug, I'm not going anywhere. When I do, I will be using my Kibler SMR in 40 caliber. There's a picture of it and my squirrel hunting buddy in the dog thread.

Say what?

You will puncture the tank. It won't ignite without a flame or spark nearby. The real fun starts when you toss one in a campfire. The safety valve is designed to vent the tank, but if the vessel fails, you get what is known as a BLEVE. Boiling Liquid Expanding Vapor Explosion. It doesn't...

My dad always called them red squirrels. It wasn't until I took biology in school that I learned they were fox squirrels. They were the dominate species by a mile when I was a kid. Now grays are. I would much rather hunt fox squirrels since they are twice the size, but feel like they need...

An 1850s Belgian double 12 ga I plan on turkey hunting with this spring. To heavy for much else.

I've seen one black one in my woods. One time only.
